Brunch is Served at Momofuku Daisho

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better than the amazing crispy chicken bao being served up at Momofuku Daisho – it got even better! Momofuku Daisho now serves bao for brunch! Thank you, Toronto food gods!

I have always been a huge fan of Momofuku Toronto (please tell me you have tried the crazy good cookies at Momofuku Milk Bar!). With 3 restaurants (Noodle Bar, Daishō and Shōtō), bar (Nikai), and dessert shop (Milk Bar), they really have become a Toronto staple. Having gotten my Momo-fix on more than one evening occasion, I couldn’t wait to get in there for a day time meal.

Momofuku Daisho now offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm. Their brunch menu features their take on brunch classics as well as a variety of super yummy cocktails- happy days! Check out the menu here!

Take a peak at some of the amazing eats (and drinks) that I ate during my brunch at Momofuku Daishō!
